OUR STORY
When we met, there was something inexplicable about the way everything just clicked. What started as a summer of fun evolved into navigating the challenges of a long-distance relationship. After hours spent on FaceTime and countless text messages, we decided to give it a shot. It wasn't easy, but we were committed to making it work. Now, happily settled in Seattle, building our life together with our beautiful dog Cleo, we look forward to sharing our joy as we say, "I do" and embark on this beautiful journey together. Here we are, living proof that love can overcome any distance.
